    In that case have you actually checked if its true or not .

    How?

    Thanks
  • Hi all,

    if you are not able to use a code yourself, I'd really appreciate being sent a PM with the code.

    Many thanks

    I hesitated too long and didn't go for a code when I should... so if anyone has a code they aren't using I would be most happy to use it to move my mum over to Sky. :beer:

    EDIT : I've just read that the codes only work at the address the code was registered against so I guess these requests for codes are futile??

    EDIT 2 : Managed to get a code from a very kind person. The code has gone through with no apparent problem despite it not being used at the address registered to. Sky surely want numbers, but sensibly they have limited the numbers and I guess aren't too worried if codes are passed on if discovered they are not needed.
  • I was sadly away when the e-mail for this was sent, so missed out applying for a code.

    Unlikely, but if anyone has a spare code I could use, then this would be really appreciated!

    Cheers :)
  • Hi, same as above I was away when the deal went out. Just out of contract with BT so perfect time to swap to Sky. If anyone has a code to spare please pm, many thanks :)

    People are still asking for codes. though it's been explained that they are not transferable from the address at which they are registered.
  • I got a code last week, and was just about to use the code now. I'm moving house in a couple of weeks. I was going to get it for the new house.

    After typing in the code, it says the speed I can expect in the new house is a lowly 1mbs - 4mbs. (My current house is 7Mbs - 17Mbs so thats much lower than I'm used to).

    So looks like I'm going to need fibre broadband for a decent speed. Can I still use the code on fibre? Will I still get the bill credit and half price line rental? Or is that only when you select standard broadband?

    If anyone can answer this, thanks :)

    I'm part way through signing up using my code and noticed that because my current phone line is provided by talktalk a one off line transfer fee is charged.

    And I've said a few posts above yours that I have successfully placed an order with a donated code and have been given a transfer date. So having written confirmation from Sky of the order with £100 credit are you saying that Sky are now going to go cancel it? I think not.
  • Would be most grateful if anyone has a spare code!
    Many thanks in advance!!!
